Thanks Jo-now you just made my eyes leak!
I haven't told BF about other friend going into hospital yet(she knows her well too)-I've been too cowardly,and I can't find the words..
BF said what broke her heart was her teenage son yelling at her that he was fed up of going out to family events without his family. If only he knew the rest of it.Debt-free...and staying that way...0 -

Oh that is just heartbreaking, that's me set off again! What an awful burden to bear (and secret to keep)
I can understand how you would put off telling your BF about your other friend, I don't think I could do it either, SRM, she is going through enough as it is, without more upset.LBM 04/05/10 :T DEBT FREE 30/07/10 :j I made it!CHALLENGES: 0 bought lunches June or July

Could be worse, tomorrow morning my BF is meeting the vicar in the churchyard to choose her "plot"....
and my other friend with BC was taken into hospital after going rapidly downhill over the weekend...she is hoping (!!) to go into a hospice next week...
Oh SRM, that's an awfully sad thing to have to do, I'm so sorry for your friend

I've just ordered a wireless printer from Argos, even with dad's discount it was cheaper than Currys/PC world. There was a slightly more expensive one which has cheaper cartridges, but it had worse reviews. So I'll pick that up in the morning, and order some ink from ebay. And I need to take my broken USB stick into one of the studentville PC repair places to try and salvage my book draft. Hopefully it wont be too expensive.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
